Hard Choices!!
Discussion
I'm utterly sick of hearing the knobbers that call themselves Politicians talk about 'hard choices'. Just say what you mean.........you're going to right, royally rape us, whichever party you represent.
I nearly put my foot through the TV this morning. That pompous idiot Clegg talking about how we need to stay 'on the path' of fighting climate change. No nuclear power. Just how far must his head be buried in the sand.
Seeing the reports of the national debt increasing by the second, which we'll have to pay off while Brown earns millions do a speaking tour of the USA, telling them how he saved the world.
Cameron telling us how he's refusing to cut overseas aid. Billions spent supporting corrupt dictators.
The list could go on. Angry, depressed and worst of all, utterly powerless to do anything about it.
(And the dishwashers broken and I've got a sink full of plates to wash!!!!)

That Clegg really got on my tits this morning. I've never really realised before what a complete and utter prat that man is. Now I know there isn't a single one of them out there at the moment worth their weight in pish, but he really needs shoved off a cliff ( I don't mind the height of said cliff as long as above 100 feet).
I have to stay calm in these situations. Many people say that they could do a better job than this person or that. But I think a good percentage of the population could do better than local councils and the government. I was planning on getting into politics and trying to make a difference one way or another. But after it taking 2 years for double yellow lines to be painted at the end of my street (and them being painted incorrectly when they were eventually painted) I realised that putting effort into a broken system would be pointless and that I would make no difference at all and probably get swallowed up, or end up putting a expense claim in for a brembo brake upgrade as it would enble me to get to the constituents quicker. Instead I am putting all my efforts into getting up the career ladder and trying to make sound financial investments. When I see tax and NI in my pay slip it just reads as sheriff of nottingham has been here before you.
Just try and get to a position where what ever they do it wont effect you....apart from when you need double yellow lines painting!

Powerful political poetry!..the loose leash over the financial sector under Brown that fed the greed & speculation on the markets have arguably, bankrupted our children. It seemed a license to encourage risk as the financial sectors friends Brown,Darling & the ex Goldman Sachs refugees under Obama over the Atlantic would rope in the public purse to bail the sorry mess out when it all turned to s
t.
Varied choices we have ..cuts,cuts,cuts...it seems a case of who we want to take the short straw that gets to shovel the st stuffed under the carpet by labour.
Brown & the party are unelectable...criminally incompetant & fixated with party power play & spin.
Cameron appears to say anything to get into No 10.....an apparent born organiser/meddler, rarely seen without his little 8 x 6 Conservative backboard with images of little fluffy clouds but, like a slick & slimey used car salesman in a trashy used car lot, has a sinister row of hardcore blue ribboned peepers watching in the shadows from the port-a-cabin pulling the strings of the new fresher faces that dance for the electorate.
Clegg has a handle on the issues but just parrot`s the other two`s policies of savage cuts on spending to (unsuccessfully) woo votes from the big two...
So all 3 parties want to cut spending ,inevitably cut more jobs, ruin public services ,squeeze the councils budgets nationwide & no doubt refuse to address the issue of troops in Afghanistan sent by Blair 8 years ago..not to mention the flurry of bright ideas to increase stealth taxes from parlimentry advisory groups under a smokescreen of carbon rationing.
I even heard an idea thrown about suggesting selling off our roads to private companys to raise funds ..road pricing by privatisation..who knows what policies will make law in a new cabinet that thinks the electorate are all for a massive pruning of spending, a justifiable increase in taxes to get the paperwork nearer the black from the angry red under ..Brown...
Why don`t they just say it like it is..
All 3 will bend the taxpayer over further..use less lube & pump harder ..
...after all it`s now the coming of the `era of the age of austerity` ..Osbornes own words.

More than one third of British people have not heard of the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, a poll conducted for BBC Newsnight suggests.

Unfortunately, the only way to maintain adequate blood pressure nowadays is to forget that I shall be heavily taxed for the rest of my life to pay for Brown's borrowing.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
